Failure to get a right viewpoint in the beginning of our Christian lives may result in weakness and sterility for the rest of our days!

We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.

Faith is not in itself a meritorious act; the merit is in the One to Whom it is directed.

One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.

Genuine Christian experience must always include an encounter with God Himself.

What do we value most? What would we most hate to lose? What do our thoughts turn to most frequently when we are free to think of what we will? And finally, what affords us the greatest pleasure?

May God deliver us from the easygoing, smooth, comfortable Christianity that never lets the truth get hold of us.
